What is ABA? A Beginner's Guide for Parents
When your child receives an autism diagnosis or faces behavioral challenges, navigating the next steps can feel overwhelming. At Elevate Health and Therapeutic Services, we believe that informed families are empowered families — and we’re here to help you understand one of the most effective approaches available: ABA.
What is ABA?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientifically backed approach that focuses on understanding behavior — how it works, how it’s affected by the environment, and how learning takes place. ABA therapy applies strategies based on these principles to bring about meaningful and positive change in behavior.
At its core, ABA is about teaching skills that matter: communication, daily living, social interaction, self-regulation, and more. By breaking down complex skills into manageable steps, children can achieve success, one goal at a time.
